OK, I added these to my local tree.  Thanks for tracking these down
across backends.  Now if Gregory or someone can just get these for
fltk, we'll be done.

I have seen on some GUIs that different keyvals are sent for the same
key, so do check and see what event.keyval is reporting; you may need
to add additional dictionary entries to keyvald.  I also tried to
replicate the problem on pygtk-2.0.0 on win32, but down-arrow press
and release worked as they should.
